1.52 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.52 carat asscher, octagon shape red garnet, measuring 6.54 by 6.15 by 3.76 millimeters, invites the discerning collector to claim a truly singular treasure. This gem, originating in Ceylon, Sri Lanka, displays a vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that together create a deep, velvety red presence seldom seen in stones of this size. Clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads clean to the eye while retaining natural character. There is no enhancement, making this garnet not only aesthetically compelling, but also inherently rare and pure, a genuine natural offering curated by The Natural Gemstone Company.

What sets this asscher cut garnet apart from more common gemstones is the way its step facets orchestrate light. Unlike brilliant cuts that favor scintillation, the asscher cut creates a hall of mirrors effect, producing broad flashes and internal depth that emphasize color and clarity together. When compared to common red stones, this garnet’s brilliance is different and arguably more intimate than the high sparkle of a diamond, and more luminous in tone than many commercial rubies and sapphires. Diamonds catch and scatter light with sharp fire, but this garnet returns light as layered warmth, a glowing inner light that draws the eye and holds attention. Compared to typical heat treated or glass filled stones on the market, the untreated origin and excellent polish of this gem provide a clarity and luster that stand out as honest and rare.

Owning this piece signals membership in an exclusive circle of collectors who value provenance, natural beauty, and meticulous cutting. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this single, carefully chosen garnet as a statement piece for bespoke settings, heirloom commissions, and collectors seeking rarity over mass produced alternatives. Availability is limited, and for those who seek a red that combines rich color, refined brilliance, and uncompromised natural origin, this Ceylon asscher garnet offers an opportunity to possess something unique, elegant, and enduring.
